Joining the spiritual path

Many emotions move the human heart when it decides to dedicate itself to the spiritual path.
This may be a “noble” reason – like faith, love of our neighbor, or charity.
Or it may be just a whim, the fear of loneliness, curiosity, or the fear of death.

None of that matters. The true spiritual path is stronger than the reasons that led us to it and little by little it imposes itself with love, discipline and dignity.
A moment arrives when we look backwards, remember the beginning of our journey, and laugh at ourselves. We have managed to grow, although we traveled the path for reasons that were very futile.

God uses loneliness to teach us about living together.
Sometimes he uses anger so that we can understand the infinite value of peace.
At other times he uses tedium, when he wants to show us the importance of adventure and leaving things behind.
God uses silence to teach us about the responsibility of what we say.
At times he uses fatigue so that we can understand the value of waking up.
At other times he uses sickness to show us the importance of health.
God uses fire to teach us about water.
Sometimes he uses earth so that we can understand the value of air. And at times he uses death when he wants to show us the importance of life

Remember this when for some reason you feel unable to continue on your path

A man Always Speak about what is in your heart and really touch Your feeling ..
But i was really Want to say ,, or Like a Suggestion Why You don’t Collect all these 1 Minute reading – short story’s and Put it all in a Book ?! As For my self I was really think in that But translate it to Kurdish Language ,, but not with out Your Permission and In case You want me to translate these Short story’s for and Adding Kurdish Language to the list it will be honer to me to do so …. Many Greeting with Love And Respect From Kurdistan to You ….

Sometimes we face the problems with fear , hate and looking for revenge but the deep believe on Allah (GOD) make us face the problems and suffer around us with patience, compassion ,forgiveness and gratitude for the gifts we have.
There is a point of making us and let us go throw this path of live .
As a Muslim I think this life is not permanent , it is just exam . there is another life we can leave there as brothers with compassion and kindness , and there is no problem to face.
Thanks Paulo Coelho for making us understand the life very well .

Thank you! This is particularly timely for me, as I have been studying and writing about purpose. There are as many different paths as there are people – yet I think we all have in common the lessons we learn on the paths. And how do we learn these lessons? By loving, serving, knowing and being. These are the Four Yogas – or our Dharma. There is a free quiz to find your dharma, or your purpose at whatsyourdharma.com

” The true spiritual path is stronger than the reasons that led us to it and little by little it imposes itself with love, discipline and dignity.”
Thanks, dear Paulo. Accept and respect, whatever comes in our way without any expectation from anybody.

Too wonderful, thankyou Paulo Coelho. I recently developed a deep interest in your work, and I believe that you have a gift. Thankyou for sharing it with me, with us. It just goes to show how much we are all alike.. what brings us together. We can all feel the same thing, but in different ways. Thankyou again. Wishing you the best in the future. Hoping to read more! Best regards from Australia!!

I also belive that god or some energy is exits in this world and univers which called by many names. But what is the system of nature to provaid things ‘happiness n sadness’ to us. Wht is the reason when millions children don’t get basic things of life like food. Wht is the reason when they die just suffring to face hungar,cold.

“I am strong
because I have known weakness.
I am compassionate
because I have experienced suffering.
I can laugh
because I have known sadness.
I can love
because I have known loss.
I am alive
because I am a fighter.

I Am a Strong Woman (Man)
who has weathered the storm
and still loves to dance in the rain!”

Not all of us take the call to spirituality for what it is. They may not be ready or choose there own path over Gods. I am very happy that He has finally got through to me for I have so much to give but was scared to open myself to those I loved.

Answering Jessica: You can bring pain and unfortunable circumstanses to a spiritual path by letting it awaken you, but you may also, and often we do, close your eyes as a respond, let it put us more to sleep; thus not using it as a opportunity to look a little closer at the mechanisms of our mind, our reactions and habits, this is also possible. We may give it some space, have some compassion towards us selves and others:-)

there is no doubt we all need GOD in our lives………… there is always some thing we have to leave over him as he is always kind and beneficent……
every religions are different paths to reach same destination………
we need some motivation in our life to move on i am so thankful to you MR. PAULO you have given me that motivation by your writing.
have a blessed Sunday all there

I agree with Antonia Lo Giudice’s statement with regards to:
Sometimes God will use obstacles and hardships to so that we gain strength and courage ~
Sometimes he will use betrayal so that we learn about forgiveness and become compassionate! ~
Once we become aware of all these things as learning experiences, we will welcome them as blessings instead of reasons to quit!! ~

My prayers have been blessed by finding Paulo Coelho’s books and his inspirational thoughts about life’s struggles. Thank you for your kindness (:

Thanks for the post – really needed it today. There are days when your faith is tested, days when no reasoning works, and those are the days when you need support and comes in the form of quotes from you.

Sometimes S/He uses guilt so we learn the value of forgiving, loving and understanding others and then Us.

There is no way for us to stray from the spiritual path even if we walk in it consciously or not. Sooner or latter the heart will find its way to happiness, where these two forces will meet and see that they are one.
Just a matter of time… after all.
